Grief Therapists in 11803

Through a supportive and empowering approach, I can help you understand yourself better, clarify your goals and directions, and lead a more fulfilling life. Together, we'll select the tools that can help you overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of achieving what you want, whether it's freeing yourself from debilitating anxiety, finding energy and joy in life, having more satisfying interpersonal relationships, or finding focus and clarity about who you are and what you want for yourself. For children, I'll also help with behavioral issues, ADHD, fears and phobias, and anxiety.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an integral part to the healing journey. I work hard at creating trust and safety with those that I work with by providing an honest, authentic, and nonjudgmental presence. It is my goal to accept whatever a person may bring to therapy while also seeing the possibility of change. I work with adults to help them navigate challenges along their journey to parenthood.  I help them cope with the emotional and mental load of trying to conceive; manage feelings of grief, loss, anxiety, and depression; to heal from trauma; adjust to motherhood; and so much more.

Are you tired of feeling frustrated or ineffective in achieving your goals? Are your relationships causing you more pain than pleasure? You do not have to live this way. Consulting with a therapist about upsetting or confusing issues can be very helpful. Please contact me; I would like to help you. Working as a psychotherapist using multiple approaches with individuals, families, and couples, I treat depression, anxiety, addictions, parenting, marital, bereavement, divorce and career issues. With support and compassion, clients are helped to examine their beliefs, feelings and personal relationships and create desired goals.

The journey of starting and raising a family is filled with countless twists and turns. Parenthood, from preconception through the toddler phase and beyond, can be stressful, overwhelming, and filled with worry and insecurities. Despite fears and feelings of isolation, you don’t have to tackle this alone. Together we will explore struggles and develop insight into how your experiences may be impacting your current thought patterns and behaviors. We’ll also address your changing identity and expectations, develop realistic strategies to enhance your relationships, achieve your goals, and minimize difficulties in your daily life.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes and you do not have to struggle alone. You have strengths within you that we can build upon. I have skills based on years of study and experience that I will share with you. We will work together to resolve your current challenges while we examine patterns of thinking and behavior in order to avoid or quickly resolve future stumbling blocks. In an atmosphere of trust, comfort and acceptance, we can achieve lasting solutions.

I specialize in loss and bereavement. My work provides strength to people who are managing a loss. You may have experienced the loss of a partner, child, or parent. You may have undergone a pregnancy loss or have infertility struggles. Or you are dealing with a shift in a relationship or change at work. Coping with these situations is challenging. It is critical to get compassionate support and develop strategies to manage feelings associated with loss. It is okay to feel sad, and normal to even feel anger. I will help guide you to understand your feelings and develop mechanisms to manage your experience.

I believe that certain patterns of behavior that impede personal growth are deeply rooted in our early experiences and relationships. They are largely outside of our awareness. Insight into how these experiences shape our perceptions, views and behaviors are illuminated through our work together within the therapeutic relationship. With clarity and a greater understanding of one's repetitive patterns, lasting change can be achieved as well as a sense of personal empowerment.

As we go through various life transitions, sometimes we feel burdensome to our friends and family. You may feel like the people you love don’t understand you. You may even feel like a stranger to yourself. I am here to provide you a safe space to process those feelings and help you through this period of change. We can learn who this new you is whether you are a new parent, divorcee, empty nester, dealing with grief or loss of a loved one, dealing with a new diagnosis or illness, working on your relationship or marriage, starting school or a new career, or just getting older and learning to cope.

I have a special interest and expertise in working with young adults and their families and spent several years as staff psychologist at Northwell Health in their Behavioral Health College Program.

The journey from adolescence to young adulthood can be stressful and overwhelming for both individuals and their families. Between social pressures, academic expectations, and familial relationships, some people can get trapped in a cycle of negative emotions. I work with teenagers, young adults and their families who are struggling through this exciting time full of changes.
